Some Polish Artists of To-day

a keen love of nature and intimacy of treatment;
the colouring is especially captivating.
Josef Chelmonski is a painter of game and
wild fowl, storks in flight, and like subjects.
He, too, has breadth of treatment and sure
draughtsmanship. His art is thoroughly healthy,
and he has remained national spite of the fact
that he has lived for a long time in Paris, as have
other of these artists.
Kasimir Sichulski who exhibits at the Vienna
Hagenbund, and whose work has been already
referred to in The Studio, also possesses a
strong and original talent: he is one of the
youngest of the present generation of Polish
artists, and studied at the Cracow Academy.
His favourite subjects are those of peasant life.
His method savours somewhat of fresco; his
talent is undoubted, and it will be (interesting to
watch the outcome of his stay in Paris, where he
is at present studying. His colouring is certainly
crude, but nevertheless his work is always
powerful.
Josef Pankiewicz is an artist of rare gifts. He
has painted many pictures of Cracow, which is a
mine of wealth to the sympathetic artist. One of
these pictures, that of an old Gothic church in
has painted many hunting scenes, full
of life and movement, for hunting is
his chief recreation. He also takes a
special delight in spending long hours
in the depths of winter searching the
masses of snow and studying their lines.
Galicia offers her artists almost as rich
a harvest of snow as do countries farther
north.
Stanislaw Czajkowski is a landscape
painter of indubitable merit. He
chooses intimate bits of country life,
such as in the picture here reproduced
(page 126), which represents an old
farmhouse, breathing a delightful atmo-
sphere of peace and rest.
Jan Stanislawski, who died some
few months ago at the early age of
foity-four, did some excellent work.
He had a predilection for small land-
scapes, filled now with gloomy sad-
ness, now with radiant brightness, for
h's was a loving, variable nature. His
work is so fine, that it is practically
impossible to reproduce it; it shows heal by konstanty laszczka
